I've been just lurking here for quite a while, but this assertion I cannot ignore. This is equivalent to ignoring the practical issues that Fred raised. As an OpenEMR developer and supporter, there's no way that such a model would do anything useful for me. Nobody is going to pay thousands of dollars for certification of free software -- not to mention that such software by its nature will be continually evolving and so quickly rendering any given certification obsolete. -- Rod www.sunsetsystems.com Yahoo!
